RECOMMENDED: The Heiress Effect by Courtney Milan is 99c! This is the second book in the Brothers Sinister series. Redheadedgirl absolutely loved this book and gave it an A+:
COURTNEY MILAN HOW DO YOU BRAIN.
There was NOT A GOOD GODDAMN THING I DID NOT LIKE ABOUT THIS BOOK. Nothing.
Miss Jane Fairfield can’t do anything right. When she’s in company, she always says the wrong thing—and rather too much of it. No matter how costly they are, her gowns fall on the unfortunate side of fashion. Even her immense dowry can’t save her from being an object of derision.
And that’s precisely what she wants. She’ll do anything, even risk humiliation, if it means she can stay unmarried and keep her sister safe.
Mr. Oliver Marshall has to do everything right. He’s the bastard son of a duke, raised in humble circumstances—and he intends to give voice and power to the common people. If he makes one false step, he’ll never get the chance to accomplish anything. He doesn’t need to come to the rescue of the wrong woman. He certainly doesn’t need to fall in love with her. But there’s something about the lovely, courageous Jane that he can’t resist…even though it could mean the ruin of them both.

Baking with Mary Berry
Baking with Mary Berry by Mary Berry is $2.99! Berry was a judge on The Great British Baking Show/The Great British Bake Off, and is very famous in the UK for her baking skills. This cookbook was published in November of 2015, and has a 4.1-star average. Many readers who liked it said they purchased it because of the show, but love the recipes inside, and the very clear instructions that make them seem very easy.
A sweet and savory collection of more than 100 foolproof recipes from the reigning “Queen of Baking” Mary Berry, who has made her way into American homes through ABC’s primetime series, The Great Holiday Baking Show, and the PBS series, The Great British Baking Show.
Baking with Mary Berry draws on Mary’s more than 60 years in the kitchen, with tips and step-by-step instructions for bakers just starting out and full-color photographs of finished dishes throughout. The recipes follow Mary’s prescription for dishes that are no fuss, practical, and foolproof–from breakfast goods to cookies, cakes, pastries, and pies, to special occasion desserts such as cheesecake and soufflés, to British favorites that will inspire.
Whether you’re tempted by Mary’s Heavenly Chocolate Cake and Best-Ever Brownies, intrigued by her Mincemeat and Almond Tart or Magic Lemon Pudding, or inspired by her Rich Fruit Christmas Cake and Ultimate Chocolate Roulade, the straightforward yet special recipes in Baking with Mary Berry will prove, as one reviewer has said of her recipes, “if you can read, you can cook.”

The Silver Stag
The Silver Stag by Yasmine Galenorn is $2.99! This is the first book in The Wild Hunt urban fantasy series. Some reviews noted this one needed more editing, while others loved the heroine. I’m also a sucker for anything having to do with fae.
Life isn’t easy when you bear the mark of the Silver Stag.
Caught between the worlds of Light and Dark Fae, Ember Kearney was born with the mark of the Silver Stag. Rejected by both her bloodlines, she’s turned her back on her people to become a freelance investigator, hiring herself to take care of common problems like hen-stealing goblins.
When Ember’s best friend asks for her help, it leads them both into a glittering world of conspiracy and danger. Angel’s little brother has vanished, and Ember must race against time to save his life. But when Ember discovers what’s happened to DJ, both she and Angel find themselves recruited into Herne’s elite squad of bounty hunters. Now, Ember must not only face her heritage, but she’s bound to preserve the balance between the Fae Courts, for if order isn’t maintained, war and chaos will spill out into the mortal realm.

Witch Interrupted
Witch Interrupted by Jody Wallace is $99c! This is the second book in the Pack and Coven series, though I believe it can be read as a standalone. Readers enjoyed the world building and sexy times, but some felt all the plot elements didn’t come together.
Two decades ago, assassin Katherine Zhang faked her death to escape the Keepers, a secret council of witches who use magic to kill those who pose a threat to their kind. Once a powerful Keeper, she lives a solitary—but peaceful—life as a tattoo artist. Until a strange, handsome lone wolf named Marcus Delgado walks into her shop.
Marcus has his own reasons to hate the Keepers. A scientist who sacrificed himself to test the fragile boundaries between witch and wolf, he believes there’s a way to harness the combustible power between the two species. If he succeeds, he’ll be protected from the Keepers, but he needs a willing partner—and the delicious Katie just might be the perfect test subject.
Katie knows working with a wolf, an adversary she’s undeniably attracted to, is a dangerous proposition…no matter how tempting she finds Marcus’s proposal. But when a common enemy from their past threatens them both, working together might be the only option.

One of my daughters and I used the Mary Berry book during the quarantine to up our baking game—and we had a lot of fun. The instructions and recipes are clear and easy to follow and the pictures are lovely (although I’m not sure how they’d look in an ebook format). I wouldn’t call it a beginner’s book—but, if you’ve already done some baking, it’s a good addition to your “kitchen bookshelf” (virtual division).
The Heiress Effect is my favorite of the Brothers Sinister series. Jane is a delight—I wanted to meet her and befriend her. I guess Oliver was fine too, but I mostly remember how great Jane is.
I loved The Heiress Effect, but I’ve rarely seen a cover so utterly divorced from the book’s contents. Who is that willowy, stylish woman, and what does she have to do with plump Jane and her painfully hideous gowns?
